[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gunthermic:
Information

All,

I hope I can cover all the information from yesterday..

1. Scripting:

A:

I build my scripts to be all inclusive for many devices. In which that I try to accommodate if a user has the app installed from another themer/dev that may have included in their ROM. Or user has flashed mine, or someone else’s before.

Since everyone can have a different named apk, I try to delete different occurrences of these as I see different names all over.

I did this to try and make it more "idiot" proof as possible.

Why??? Because of all kinds of issues of users in many. many threads having issues with having market updates, different named apk's.. Find another themer that has taken that time to step through this.. Which in itself causes issues because users aren't used to it.

B:

Script don't fail if they have commands to delete an apk AT ALL.. they continue to next line. And since i build my scripts to help as many as possible, those lines stay in there. They don't hurt or harm anything at all.

What hurts a script? If busybox isnt install in same spot. (if you don't understand what busybox does).. find a thread and read about it. Not gonna open a discussion about it.

C:

Kit-Kat vs JellyBean:

Kit-Kat puts it's apps in system/priv-apps vs system/apps. So the scripting is having some issues with this becuase of security on priv-apps.

2. Maps:

A:

I am not the one that is dictating resolutions on Maps. Google is. So if you don't understand this or so.. Ask first before giving misinformation it is causing more problems.

What Google has done is depending on Android version and Screen resolution (i.e HDPI, xHDPI, xxHDPI) depends on your Maps Build number you get.. All current versions are 7.5 But different build numbers, like (#705001724, #705001714) Just to name two...

So what does that mean? Because the different builds have different resolution of images in them( I know I theme this thing), normally like Gmail has HDIP, mHDPI, xHDPI, xxHDPI all in one app, so it can be used on all devices, same apk

Turning off updates if you flash one and it updates it??? Why?? CAUSE You have wrong build for your device/resolution!!!! So telling others to turn off updates to force an installation is quite the opposite thing that should be happening.. Once you have the correct BUILD Number then that's okay... That is why I told all if not the right one to send it to me and I can look at it and add to the number available.

Not only is their different images sizes there is also some slight coding differeances in the androidmanifest and the java code. I have spent hours and hours to see the differances and know they are there. If you wanna force it, you can get parsing errors, crashes etc...

None of this is directed at anyone. It is taken from all the PM's and posts I have seen on here. No ill will intended at all towards anyone. Just statign facts and truths and not misleading anyone.

Thank you to those few that followed the OP nad have sent me their Maps to see what is different.. That is what I asked for in the OP... Tahnk you, Thank you for reading and understanding.....

Last note:

I will Support Maps once again when and if Google decides to combine back different resolutions back into one apk like all the other Google Apps tend to....
